How Asset Searches Help in Child Support and Alimony Cases?

Uncover the Truth. Secure What’s Rightfully Yours.

What Is an Asset Search?

An asset search is a legal investigation to locate a person’s financial holdings and property. This can include:

• Real estate (homes, condos, rental units) 
• Hidden bank accounts or investments 
• Vehicles and luxury items 
• Business ownership or income 
• Offshore assets or trusts 

In family law cases, these findings can be critical for fair child support or alimony arrangements.

How Asset Searches Support Child Support & Alimony Cases

When someone underreports income or hides property, they may end up paying less than their fair share. Here’s where a private asset search becomes a valuable tool:

1. Reveal Hidden Income

Spouses may funnel income through side businesses, undeclared jobs, or family members. We trace such sources legally.

2. Expose Undisclosed Properties

If your ex owns additional real estate not declared during the divorce process, we can locate it through public records and land registries.

3. Identify Business Interests

Business owners can underreport earnings by manipulating business records. We investigate corporate affiliations and financial connections.

4. Ensure Accurate Support Calculations

Courts base child support and alimony on financial capacity. An asset search gives the court a clear picture of your ex’s real net worth.

Real-Life Example 

Sarah, a single mother in Toronto, was receiving minimum child support from her ex-husband—a self-employed contractor. She suspected he was hiding income. With Atlas Private Investigations, we uncovered three undeclared rental properties and income from subcontracting jobs.

As a result, the court revised his support payments, securing a fair and increased monthly amount for Sarah and her child.
